What is DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) Technique?

DHI hair transplantation is one of the most advanced hair transplantation methods using a special pen called “choi implanter”. The needle of the choi implanter pen, which has a very thin, cylindrical and sharp structure, is in the form of a channel and the hair is inserted into the pen by driving along this channel. The implanted grafts are immersed in the scalp to be transplanted and the graft is left in the skin.

The DHI hair transplant method, called direct hair implantation, is considered one of the most advantageous methods in terms of both the short recovery time and the possibility of performing multiple hair transplants in a single session. Thanks to this method, which aims to intensify and close the bald areas without damaging the hair and healthy roots in the skin. A much more frequent and natural-looking hair transplant is performed with this method. The only difference between the DHI technique from the FUE technique is that the canal and sowing phase can be done at the same time.

One of the most important reasons why the DHI technique has come to the fore in recent years is that it is a two-stage method without incisions. Hair transplantation, which is performed in three stages as graft collection, channel opening and graft transplantation in other hair transplantation techniques, is carried out in two basic stages as graft collection and graft transplantation using the DHI method.

The most important factor in reducing hair transplantation to two stages is the use of choi implanter pens. After the graft is placed into the Choi implanter pen, the skin is pierced, and the graft is left directly into the skin. In this way, grooving and graft transplantation operations can be performed at the same time.

How is DHI Technique Applied?

The DHI method, the most innovative and advanced hair transplant surgery, involves the removal of hair follicles directly from the donor areas using the latest tools. After the extraction process is completed, the hair follicles are transplanted to the patient’s hair loss area using a special Choi Implanter Pen with a sensitive needle.

Step 1: Extraction Phase

DHI hair transplantation process starts with the acquisition phase. The process of removing hair follicles from the donor area is always done under local anesthesia. Roots are taken one by one and placed in a special environment and solution at a certain temperature, and their natural development is ensured.

Step 2: Placement Phase

In the implantation phase, the follicles are transplanted using a special disposable implanter tool. Thanks to this special implanter, it does not require a slit or hole in the patient’s scalp beforehand.

Choi implanter pens give the surgeon full control over the entire process, giving a natural-looking result.

DHI or FUE Technique

There are striking similarities between the DHI technique and the FUE technique. The general procedure is the same for both techniques; however, there is a slight difference in the stage of graft implantation. In the FUE method, which is not in the DHI method, the channel must be opened before the graft transplantation process.
